Stokes* Sugar Sweet 

 Muskmelon 



Would you like a Muskmelon, 

 every one of which had that de- 

 licious, sweet flavor that every 

 melon-lover thinks so much ol ? 

 We have it here in the Stokes' 

 New Sugar Sweet. I believe, 

 without any exaggeration, they 

 are the sweetest and most de- 

 licious-flavored melon that has 

 ever been offered to the trade. 

 The vine is very strong and per- 

 fectly blight-proof, holding up 

 green and strong until all the 

 melons are ripened. It is nicely 

 netted, flesh thick and of dark 

 green, with tendency toward 

 pinkish hue near the seed cav- 

 ity ; the seeds are very small 

 and few. The melon is slightly 

 oblong and very uniform in size, 

 averaging about 6 inches in di- 

 ameter and 7 inches in length. 

 I cannot recommend this Stokes' 

 Sugar Sweet Muskmelon too 

 highly, either for home use or 

 for market. Seed comparative- 

 ly scarce. Price, pkt. locts., oz. 

 35 cts , ><lb. $1, lb. $3.50 ; in 5- 

 Ib. lots, by express, $16.25. 



New Fordhook 

 Muskmelon 



Stokes' Sugar Sweet Muskmelon (Doesn't it look it ?) 



This melon originated in South Jersey and is a cross between the Emerald Gem and Improved Jenny Lind. It is the 

 shape of the large-size type of Jenny Lind, well shown in illustration, but has very thick, deep salmon-colored flesh, sur- 

 passingly sweet to the very rind. The fruits carry well to market, and, when once they are known, command the highest 

 prices. It is quite early, vigorous in growth, and extremely prolific. The fruits are even in size and always nicely netted. 

 A basket of them is a very appealing sight. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., ;4^1b. 85 cts., lb. $3; in 5-lb. lots, by ex- 

 press, $13.75. 



Select Eden Gem Muskmelon 



This melon is also called The Pollock and Rust-Proof Solid Netted Rocky Ford. 



New Fordhook Muskmelon 



It is a most excellent market sort, 

 resisting unfavorable conditions 

 which cause rust, much better 

 than any other sort. It is the 

 heaviest yielder of any musk- 

 melon. In our field for testing 

 it was common to find hills with 

 twenty-five to thirty full netted 

 melons on them. The flesh is 

 exceedingly thick, with small 

 cavities. Most of the melons are 

 Solid Net, having no space be- 

 tween the ribs not covered with 

 netting. The heavy gray netting 

 is closely laced. The color of 

 the meat is light green. It is a 

 most excellent shipper. Price,
